Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Almighty Fire is the twenty-fourth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, released on April 13, 1978, by Atlantic Records. By the time of the album's release, Franklin was going through a commercial slump, due in part to the widespread popularity of disco.

Franklin was reunited with Curtis Mayfield after their earlier success together with the Sparkle soundtrack.

The title single reached at #12 on the Billboard R&B Singles Chart and the follow-up single, "More Than Just a Joy", peaked at #51. The album earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female at the 1979 Grammy Awards.
